An aspect of the present disclosure facilitates early identification of problems in execution of background processes. In one embodiment, a digital processing system characterizes the consumption of multiple resources during normal prior executions of a background process and determines a baseline pattern of consumption of resources for the background process. The system then monitors a current pattern of consumption of the resources during a current execution of the background process, and checks whether the current pattern of consumption has a deviation from the baseline pattern of consumption. The system notifies a potential problem with the current execution of the background process if a deviation is determined to exist. The notifications enable a user to get an early indication of potential problems during the execution of the background process itself.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1, wherein said checking determines that said deviation exists if the differences in consumption of said plurality of resources between said current pattern of consumption and said baseline pattern of consumption is disproportionate to said baseline pattern of consumption.
5. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1, wherein said background process comprises a plurality of threads, wherein said plurality of resources include CPU used, memory used, number of read operations, and a number of write operations by all of said plurality of threads in said background process.
11. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 10, further comprising one or more instructions for highlighting, in said radar chart, a set of resources that are determined to have said deviation based on said checking.
13. The method of claim 12, wherein said checking determines that said deviation exists if the differences in consumption of said plurality of resources between said current pattern of consumption and said baseline pattern of consumption is disproportionate to said baseline pattern of consumption.
18. The digital processing system of claim 17, wherein said digital processing system determines that said deviation exists if the differences in consumption of said plurality of resources between said current pattern of consumption and said baseline pattern of consumption is disproportionate to said baseline pattern of consumption.
